A Demoniac is Freed

Reality of spiritual realm, warfare

Jesus is systematically reclaiming spiritual territory from the enemy

READ Mark 5:1–13.

Mark 5:1-13

Living among the dead

Resistant To Restraint

addiction- given over

desire to be unshackled (Ps. 2)

Crying out and Cutting

“…not just what happened, but what always happens”

Word to cutters: displaced and unprocessed anger

Jesus Confronts Legion

Casting out

Reveal your name

Demon Begs and Pleads

proskuneo- posture of worship

begging not to be tortured before the time…

begging to be in pigs rather than the “abyss”

Jesus “gives permission”- they end up dead anyway

A Shocking Reality

Not everyone will be pleased with deliverance

afraid of delivered man

afraid of Jesus

some are held back from their deliverance because they are too accustomed to their brokenness

A Humble Request

Jesus, I want to be with you…

Stay and tell others.

Only you can tell your story

Only you can have your story

Communion
